What is the language? Does they can speak English or only their own native language?
- If the place that you wanted to go can speak English. Then it doesn't matter as long you can speaks English at least just fair for people to understand you. If the place that you're plan to go isn't speaks English well. Get prepare of yourself by learning their language! At least the basic things.

5. Oh my God! The more you learn their language, the more better it is. Because it's an advantage for you own too.
What are the currencies?
- Make sure the currency that you're going to and convert it. Eg. if it is Indonesia, then you must convert the currencies to Rupiah.
Does the place is Muslim country/friendly?
- For Muslim travelers, it is going to be a bit hard if the destination's not a muslim country. Because, you're going to find some troubles in finding halal foods/drinks. Bring your own canning food just in case if you can't find any halal food or muslim friendly restaurant. For prayer? It doesn't matter as long the place is clean and do not disturb others.
